Someday I might let this go, but for comparison sake, these people were born and raised in NJ: Meryl Streep, Whitney Houston, Queen Latifah, Annie Hathaway. I don't know if most of them tried to change their accents or anything, but can attest that Annie Hathaway sounds exactly the same on film and IRL from before she was famous, and the same as everybody else from around here.

Some of my relatives have more pronounced accents and the big thing they do that is different from middle-of-country is a funny "au" sound, like in the word "sauce." I can't even really explain it, it sounds kind of like suhwace.

I moved to the New York/new jersey region after living various places in the US. It was difficult for me to get over the shock of the accents my first few weeks here. Honestly, I can't tell the difference from NJ and NY. I know that's probably not a popular opinion, but its my experience! Everyone has an accent; it's all your perspective.

Hahaha, I loved her warrior name. To be honest, I think this show is great. I feel like it totally is just sending up all those usual romantic comedy/dating and body hate stereotypes. Not to mention how awesome it is that there is a show with a South Asian female lead who isn't part of some forced marriage or a culture clash or whatever other ridiculous storylines usually accompany South Asian characters on tv.

I mean, I completely love when women are allowed to do such broad physical comedy like that. It's such a damn rarity. But I totally adore the way Mindy can say everything with just one look. She's really good.

i was OBSESSED with her green outfit (especially the scarf and coat) in that episode. the first scene, when she had the scarf tied and her glasses on? gorgee! i was excited every time i saw her grab her coat to put it on again. she's adorable.
